I liked it. I thought it had to be one of the strangest plot premisis I've ever seen. In fact, the whole movie sort of left you saying "gee. that was unlike any comedy I've ever seen before!". Kind of like a slice out of a situational comedy. Lots of good situations, comedy but no real beginning or ending! Like I said. I liked it. It was highly original. Now, has anyone seen 'My new partner'? A good film! Predictable in parts, but excellent character acting makes this irrelevant. I give it 3 stars out of 4 for comedy. And another 'now, has anyone seen', has anyone seen 'birdy'? I thought this was an EXCELLENT film, but no one has talked about it! Are you ignoring it?? DON'T!!! -- Jordan K.
